Holiday wine pairing has never been easier: just order this half case of 6 bottles and you are good to go! First, a garnet-colored sparkling to wine (but dry!) to greet your guests and get things into the holiday spirit. Then a bottle of dry-style Riesling from winemaker Josef Hogl. This has all the fun fruit and complexity you want, and none of the heaviness you don’t. With its zippy character, it’s truly a much better match to all the rich side dishes than the usual Chardonnay. Second up, the classic red wine to go with your roasted bird, game meat, prime rib, rack of lamb or glazed ham: a stunning Pinot Noir from the Wenzel winery. Then, for dessert, a beautiful bottle of true Ice Wine from one of the master dessert winemakers of Austria. It’s also a rose, like that opening brut sparkler, which adds a bit of closure to the evening. It will also pair perfectly with your yule log, or pumpkin and pecan pies. When you buy this half-case, you also save 20% the individual bottle prices- it’s our way of getting into the holiday spirit, and understanding that, while things may be a bit tighter this year for most holiday tables, we do all still want to have a great bottle of wine for our guests (and ourselves).
